August bank holiday - Emily's 2nd birthday

Whilst camping we popped back to Fareham for Emily's birthday party.

One of her presents was a new camera which she had lots of fun playing with, although I'm not sure she has totally got the hang of how to use it yet...

Emily is small for her age (takes after her mum!) but seems to be growing up quickly, in that she recognises lots of words, and can say a few herself. She knows who we all are, and we think she even said my name the other day! She's constantly baby talking at the moment, which doesn't make any sense, but is very sweet especially when she looks up at you, as though we should understand what she is saying. She is also making lots of v cute noises, which you will see if you watch the video. Unfortunately I didn't manage to film her dancing, but will try and upload something soon as it's not to be missed!

August bank holiday - New Forest

Michael and I went camping near the New Forest during the bank holiday weekend. Unfortunately the August sunshine hid away for most of our stay, but being hardy campers we didn't let that ruin our holiday!

During our stay we visited Beaulieu (car museum). They have a Top Gear zone where we found the cool wall (it didn't disappear in the fire afterall!) and some of the cars they have converted (amphibious-cars, stretched-cars, and by far my favourite...the car-cottage).































There were also a few more famous cars that we recognised...




















On our way home we decided to take the scenic route through the New Forest to avoid the bank holiday traffic. However some horses were determined to foil our plan.
